Dockers unfazed by facing Crows in Adelaide

Fremantle coach Chris Connolly says his side will not be intimidated by facing the Crows in Adelaide in Saturday's AFL qualifying final.

The Dockers defeated the Crows by 15 points when they last played at Football Park in round 19.

Connolly said he expected the Dockers would have substantial support in Adelaide on Saturday.

"You'll be shocked at how many Fremantle supporters actually attend AAMI Stadium, they're very serious and passionate about their football and I'm sure they'll get right in behind us," he said.

"With the great following that Adelaide's got, it'll be a great clash and a really fantastic finals atmosphere."

Dockers captain Peter Bell said he was confident his side would not be intimidated by the atmosphere of the finals, considering their experience in managing the hype surrounding Derby matches with West Coast.

"A lot of the Derbies and the big games are played at a very similar pace and ferocity as finals football," he said.
